The aim of this study was to verify the importance of reinforcing a sex stereotype onparticipants’ identification with this role. The results were analysed as a function of both biological sex (63 women and 65 men) and psychological gender (58 sex-typed individuals and 70 androgynous individuals). In the study the Psychological Gender Inventory was used, as well as a scale measuring Agency and Communion, a scale measuring Unmitigated Agency and Unmitigated Communion, lists of sentences containing stereotypes of the male sex and the female sex, and sentences that were neutral with regard to sex. The results showed that feminine women ascribed more female characteristics to themselves regardless of whether the role that was associated with their biological sex was reinforced or not. Men showing characteristics of both sexes ascribed a similar level of unmitigated communion and agency to themselves irrespective of whether the sex stereotype was reinforced or not

The research investigates the relationship between an individual’s social orientation and their identity style. The identity style is understood, following Berzonsky (1989), as the manner in which important life decisions are taken, including those related to one’s identity and ways of coping with everyday problems. Having anticipated differences in ways of constructing identity, decision-making, and coping with problems, the author distinguishes three identity styles: informational, normative, and diffuse-avoidant. In turn, the research in social orientations distinguishes an individualistic and a collectivistic orientation (Reykowski, 1999). They are understood as forms of mentality connected with basic intuitions and beliefs related to the question of which type of a relation between an individual and the community is proper and just. The conducted research verifi ed the existence of sex differences in the construction of identity styles and adopted social orientation, as well as the relation between an individual’s identity style and their social orientation. Berzonsky’s revised Identity Style Inventory (ISI-3) and a questionnaire for the measurement of vertical and horizontal collectivism and individualism (KIRH; Adamska, Retowski, Konarski, 2005) were used to determine an individual’s identity style and social orientation, respectively. The KIRH enabled to identify two types collectivism (vertical and horizontal) and two types of individualism. The sample consisted of 657 subjects (340 female and 317 male), between 22 and 40 years of age. The conducted analysis revealed differences between female and male subjects as regards identity styles and social orientations as well as the relation between certain identity styles and specifi c social orientations.

Depressiveness of people in early adulthood The article addresses the issue of depression and variables of age and gender. The study assumed that people in early adulthood (aged 20-35). At the same time, a hypothesis was put forward, which was determined by the statement - gender determines the intensity of depression symptoms in such a way that men present a lower intensity of the features characteristic for depression. A. Beck's Inventory (IDB - Beck Depression Inventory) and non-standardized questionnaire regarding the sense of security were used in the research. A total of 189 people were tested (F20-35 - 91; M20-35 - 98). Based on the analysis of the research it was established: the age of the respondents does not differ statistically (p = .12). In the case of the intensity of depression, there are significant differences between the studied women and men (p = .01). Early adulthood is not free from depressive states. Most respondents do not experience it. Young people present a sense of security in a moderate (subjective) way. Depressiveness is a determinant of the sense of security of the surveyed women. The symptoms of depression in higher intensity are noticeable in the examined women.

The article presents research on the frequently observed problem of aggression and violence in relationship. The authors point out the role of represented attachment style for the quality of relationships of young adults and the appearance of aggressive behaviors. At the same time they suggest that the role overload that occurs during early adulthood may lead to lower satisfaction with the implementation of the developmental tasks of this period – which in turn may result in a tendency to aggressive behavior. The aim of this study was to investigate the specific needs of young adults in partnership given their attachment style, satisfaction with the developmental tasks associated with family life and the expression of aggressive behavior. The main research problem was therefore the relationship between attachment style and the level of aggression and the relationship between the level of aggression and satisfaction with the implementation of developmental tasks. The study was conducted with the use of Kwestionariusz Stylów Przywiązaniowych (KSP) Mieczyslawa Plopy, Kwestionariusz Agresji (BPAQ) A. Buss and M. Perry and Skala Satysfakcji z Realizacji Zadań Rozwojowych (prepared by the authors). The study involved 45 pairs in different forms of relationship. The study confirmed the relationship between represented attachment style and the level of aggression and the relationship between satisfaction with the developmental tasks and the level of partners aggression towards each other.

The basic assumption is that time, which regulates our existence in the world, is the special medium and that there are “costs (lost opportunities) associated with not investing time wisely” (Zimbardo, & Boyd, 2009, p. 19). The diverse attitudes of certain individuals towards time may be viewed from various perspectives. The author reflects on the time phenomenon from the perspective of learning adults, with regard to three life periods in the process indentified in andragogy as maturing to adulthood. In early adulthood time is especially significant as people assume the role of the ones responsible for their professional development and their family. In the second stage – middle adulthood – due to varying evaluations of their achievements, time is treated either as a friend or as an enemy. In this situation undertaking learning activity becomes a springboard, some kind of antidote to the emerging life problems. It may also bring about fundamental disturbances to the psycho-social balance of an adult person, such as change of his living environment. The value of time as a non-renewable good increases significantly in late adulthood, after crossing the threshold of 60. This refers particularly to people who consider old age as an important stage of life. Thus, temporal perspective in each stage of adulthood varies, especially when learning is a regular part of life activities of an adult person

At the time of an economic crisis and its psychological consequences the attitudes and activity of young adults, who are just starting their vocational life, are of great significance. Graduates from colleges and universities are a very important group among them. Their abilities have an impact upon the intellectual potential of the country’s economy, and consequently upon its novelty. The presented research concentrated upon the knowledge of graduates about ongoing changes and tendencies in the labour market, and their ability to communicate their needs in this respect. The study comprised 602 students of the final years of B.A. and M.A. studies, since they are confronted with making a decision concerning their future jobs. Decisions made at that time have a long-lasting influence on the quality of their life. It is therefore worthwhile to acquire better knowledge on the inner motives of their choices.

The article discusses the phenomenon of early school leaving, the scale of this phenomenon in Europe, the ways of conducting research on it and its reduction. ESL is caused by a combination of individual, educational and socio-economic factors. Therefore, the article points out that any measures taken to tackle the phenomenon of ESL, focused on prevention, intervention or compensation, must take into account the specific situation of the country and the region. There is no single solution that would be appropriate in all situations and everywhere. The results presented have been achieved within an international educational project: “ESSE – Early School Leaving & Second ChanceEducation”, supported by the European Commission within the Lifelong Learning Programme and by Poland’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The article presents the results of a study investigating the links between emotion regulation and identity. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the two variables. On the basis of neo-eriksonian theories, an attempt to specify the role of emotion regulation in the process of identity formation was made. The study involved 849 people (544 women, 304 men) aged 14-25. The participants attended six types of schools: lower secondary school, basic vocational school, technical upper secondary school, general upper secondary school, post-secondary school, and university. The research was conducted with the use of two questionnaires: Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS). The analysis of the results points to a partial confirmation of the assumed hypotheses about the differences between people with different identity statuses in respect of the six investigated dimensions of emotion regulation. Also, the hypotheses about the links between the dimensions of emotion regulation and dimensions of identity in the subgroups with different identity statuses were partially confirmed.

Voluntary childlessness is getting increasingly more attention of researchers of different disciplines (e.g. Callan 1983, Kalus 2002, Mynarska 2009, 2011, Slany 2002). This is a topic taken up in studies of different perspectives: demographic, sociological, economic and psychological . This paper is devoted to presenting the results of own research, which were aimed at seeking answers to the question: how are voluntarily childless couples perceived? The research was conducted on a group of 186 young adults, using the scenario method developed basing on the method by C. Lampman and Dowling-Guyer used in studies at the University of Alaska (Lampman, Dowling-Guyer, 1995). The results obtained confirm that the fact of having children significantly differentiates the perception of married couples. Voluntarily childless people are considered less diligent, less caring and sensitive both in respect to parents and infertile couples, and less mature emotionally than parents.

Otrzymane wyniki potwierdzają, że posiadanie potomstwa istotnie różnicuje postrzeganie par małżeńskich. Osoby zamierzenie bezdzietne uważane są za mniej pracowite, mniej troskliwe i czułe zarówno od rodziców, jak i osób niepłodnych, a także za mniej dojrzałe emocjonalnie od par posiadających dzieci.

The aim of this study was to analyze the link between body image, self-regulation and stress in late adolescence and early adulthood on the basis of Personality Systems Interaction Theory by J. Kuhl. The subjects of the study were people attending fi tness clubs and gyms (N = 29) and those who did not pursue any physical activity (N = 29). Body image was assessed by means of the “body and self-esteem” scale from the Eating Disorder Cognition Questionnaire (FEDK, Legenbauer, Vocks, and Schütt-Strömel, 2007), self-regulation was assessed by means of the Action Control Scale (ASC 90, Kuhl, 1994a; 2001), and stress bymeans of the “demands” and “threats” scales from the Volitional Component Questionnaire (Kuhl, Furmann, 1998). Analyzes showed that there are no differences between adolescents and young adults in body image, self regulation, and stress level. It was found that the physically active group has a negative body image in comparison with the physically inactive group. However, there is a relationship between body dissatisfaction, state orientation subsequent to failure, and stress (demands). A mediation analysis additionally showed that stress was an important mediator between action control and body image.

One of the basic conditions of human life (and the ways of experiencing it) is that it is temporal and the our lifetime is limited. Today we observe fast technological changes, access to a lot of information and frequent necessity to execute tasks quickly, which is why many people experience limits of time necessary to perform their action. Conscious of their own mortality, people also experience the limits of their own lifetime. In this context, the question, what would it mean for a given individual “to make proper use of time” seems to be quite important. Research was conducted on a group of 127 students. The objective of the research was to obtain answers to exploratory questions: What are the individual concepts of that, what does “proper time use” mean for students (both in short-term perspective and lifetime perspective). In order to discover the individual concepts of “proper time use”, a questionnaire containing open questions was constructed. Th e questions were connected with three time use perspectives: a week of study, a week of holidays and the whole life. It corresponds with the division made by Popiołek (2010) into two perspectives, in which time is captured by the man: every day time and lifetime. Answers were categorized. The most frequent criteria of “proper time use” were: attaining objectives (74%), pleasure and seeking sensations (61%), relations with other people (49%), personal development (34%) and life satisfaction (30%). Definite majority of the answers were general and pointed to a lack of deeper reflection on their lives, on “how I would like to make use of my lifetime”. The results obtained may have application value – based on them, initial postulates were proposed for work on increasing self-consciousness of students in the respect of time management.

The aim of the study was the analysis of the relationships between self-regulation, action/state orientation, personality styles and the levels of anxiety and depression in people who are preoccupied with work, in their early adulthood. The theoretical background for our study was the Action Control and the Personality System Interaction theory by Julius Kuhl. In order to measure preoccupation with work we used The Preoccupation with Work Scale, the anxiety and depression levels were explored using the The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and The Beck Depression Inventory, respectively. Self – regulation was assessed by using the Volitional Component Questionnaire and action vs. state orientation by using the Action Control Scale. The Personality Styles and Disorders Inventory, was employed to measure the different personality styles. 80 company employees (36 women and 44 men) from corporate enterprises in Wroclaw and Krakow participated in the research. We confi rmed that the levels of anxiety and depression can be viewed as predictors for preoccupation with work in early adulthood. The study also showed the protective effect of action orientation on the development of these psychological symptoms in people who are preoccupied with work. Those individuals most commonly displayed the obsessive – compulsive, narcissistic, and optimistic personality style.

The aim of the research is to investigate the correlation between age and playing styles in an authorial role-playing game. In the designed research the authors have assumed the playing styles defined by Richard Bartle, that is: the socializer, the killer, the achiever, the explorer. The research subjects came from three age groups: university students (18-25), corporate workers (35-50) and seniors (65+). The research was conducted with the use of the quantitative method on the basis of the playing styles observation sheet developed in accordance with the operationalization of Bartle’s taxonomy. Throughout the conducted observations one could observe clear behaviours, adequate with the operationalized taxonomy of Bartle. The dominant type in every age group was the socialiser, on the other hand only a few behaviours were associated with the killer type. In every age category there was a specific pattern of the observed behaviours, which are possible to explain by comparison to the everyday activities of the investigated age groups. Knowledge about the correlation between age and playing style could be useful for game creators and educators, who want to use the game as an educational method.

Both local and international surveys show that Polish tolerance is increasing. Poles seem to prefer a fair and objective attitude towards others who differ from them in terms of beliefs, practices or origins, over xenophobic prejudices. Age and education are the two factors that are said to be correlated with the tolerance. The aim of the study was to gather the opinions of young well-educated Poles on the issues connected with tolerance. The research problem was the change in ethnic, personal and religious tolerance which was observed in the group of young, well-educated Poles over the last 7 years. The research was conducted at two of Cracow’s universities: the University of Science and Technology (AGH) and the University of Agriculture (UR). It was conducted in two rounds, in 2009 and 2016. In total, 132 participants took part in the study. All the participants filled out the questionnaire, which consisted of 57 questions on various aspects of tolerance. The tolerance for young Poles means primarily acceptance. The increase of the tolerance is visibly connected with the increase of the indifference toward otherness, the level of activity seems to be quite low. The reasons for the increase of the tolerance are greater experience and better knowledge about “others” and probably also smaller complexes in comparison to previous generations. The main reason for the decrease of the tolerance in some areas is fear. Although the majority of respondents seem to accept the ideas of tolerance, there is still a place for educators in reinforcing knowledge and courage of young Poles.

PL

Zarówno polskie, jak i międzynarodowe badania pokazują, że poziom tolerancji w Polsce wzrasta. Wydaje się, że Polaków charakteryzuje w większym stopniu uczciwa i obiektywna postawa wobec „innych”, czyli tych, którzy różnią się od nich przekonaniami, zachowaniem czy pochodzeniem, niż ksenofobiczne uprzedzenia. Dwoma czynnikami korelującymi silnie z tolerancją są wiek i poziom wykształcenia. Celem badań było zebranie opinii młodych, wykształconych Polaków na tematy związane z tolerancją. Problemem badawczym była zmiana w obszarze tolerancji etnicznej, osobistej i religijnej obserwowana w grupie młodych, dobrze wykształconych Polaków na przestrzeni 7 lat. Badanie przeprowadzono w dwóch krakowskich uczelniach: Akademii Górniczo-Hutniczej oraz Uniwersytecie Rolniczym. Badanie prowadzone było dwukrotnie, w latach 2009 i 2016. W sumie w badaniu wzięły udział 132 osoby. Wszyscy badani wypełniali składający się z 57 pytań kwestionariusz dotyczący różnych aspektów tolerancji. Tolerancja utożsamiana jest przez młodych Polaków przede wszystkim z akceptacją. Wzrost tolerancji wiąże się w sposób widoczny ze wzrostem obojętności wobec inności, poziom aktywnego zaangażowania wydaje się niższy. Czynnikami powodującymi wzrost tolerancji są większa wiedza i doświadczenie obcowania z „innymi” oraz prawdopodobnie mniejsze kompleksy niż miało to miejsce w przypadku poprzednich pokoleń. Główną przyczyną spadku tolerancji w niektórych obszarach jest lęk. Chociaż większość badanych młodych dorosłych wydaje się popierać ideę tolerancji, ciągle jeszcze istnieje przestrzeń dla nauczycieli i wychowawców, których zadaniem jest wzmacnianie wiedzy i odwagi młodych ludzi.

W artykule podjęto próbę przedstawienia sposobów doświadczania rodzicielstwa przez 17 młodych dorosłych, którzy stali się matkami/ojcami. Badanie przeprowadzono metodą fenomenograficzną. Jego celem było dokonanie opisu sposobu znaczeń, jakie młodzi rodzice nadają fenomenowi rodzicielstwa, co dla nich znaczy bycie rodzicem. Za twórcami fenomenograficznej metody badań przyjęto epistemologiczne założenie, że nie ma innego świata jak ten, którego człowiek doświadcza. Rodzinę uznano za szczególne miejsce uczenia się i doświadczania świata, które jawi się w świadomości młodych dorosłych jako koncepcja rodzicielstwa. Szczegółowe kategorie opisu, ujawniające koncepcje doświadczania rodzicielstwa okazały się dyskursywne i silnie powiązane z kontekstem. Ewidencyjnie zaznaczyła się kategoria ambiwalencji, co oznacza, że rodzicielstwo rozkłada się między skrajami doświadczenia i znacznie wykracza poza edukacyjny kontekst wychowania. Okoliczności towarzyszące doświadczaniu rodzicielstwa są silnie związane z przekazami kulturowymi wysyłanymi do grup i jednostek przez różnego rodzaju agendy świata społecznego. Nasi rozmówcy okazali się całkowicie w nie uwikłani. Utwierdza to w przekonaniu, że problem praktyki edukacyjnej związanej z doświadczeniem rodzicielstwa lokuje ją w świecie współczesnej kultury, rozdartej wieloznacznością, chaosem zmieniających się ofert, nasyconej złożonością kultury, „odwracalnej”, której treści podlegają ciągłej rekonstrukcji. Dostarcza to istotnych przesłanek do budowania teorii uczenia się przez całe życie.

This article attempts to present ways of experiencing parenthood among 17 young adults who have become mothers/fathers. The study was carried out using the phenomenographic method, which sought to describe how the young parents gave meanings to the phenomenon of parenthood; what it meant for them to be a parent. Based on the approach designed by the creators of the phenomenographic research method, we made the epistemological assumption that there is no other world besides the one that an individual experiences. A family was recognised as a special place for learning and experiencing the world, which appears to young adults as a concept of parenthood in their consciousness. The detailed categories of description, revealing concepts of experiencing parenthood, proved to be discursive and strongly context-related. There was considerable ambivalence in the findings, indicating that parenthood fluctuates between polar interpretations of experience and significantly goes beyond an educational context of upbringing. The circumstances accompanying experiencing of parenthood are strongly connected with cultural messages conveyed to groups and individuals by various lifeworld agencies: our interviewees proved to be completely embedded in them. Our findings support the hypothesis that the problem of educational practice connected with experiencing parenthood places it in the world of contemporary culture, which is torn apart by ambiguity and chaos of changing offers, as well as complexity-saturated “reversible” culture, the contents of which are subject to constant reconstruction. This provides essential reasons for developing a theory of lifelong learning in the family.

Celem prezentowanych analiz było ukazanie związku między czterema statusami tożsamości w ujęciu Jamesa Marcii a posiadaniem partnera życiowego w okresie wczesnej dorosłości. Przeprowadzono badania z udziałem 452 osób (307 kobiet i 145 mężczyzn) w wieku od 20 do 35 lat. Badania ujawniły, że wśród osób badanych dominują osoby o tożsamości moratoryjnej oraz tożsamości rozproszonej w obszarze ideologicznym, jak i interpersonalnym. Otrzymane wyniki wskazują na brak różnic w zakresie statusów tożsamości w obszarze ideologicznym i interpersonalnym między osobami posiadającymi i nie posiadającymi partnera życiowego, a zatem status tożsamości nie stanowił czynnika różnicującego osoby żyjące w pojedynkę i w związku. Jednocześnie przeprowadzane analizy sugerują, że osoby badane rozwiązują kryzysy tożsamości i intymności równocześnie.

Introduction: Aesthetic standards of appearance affect the body image of women. The subjective assessment of the body becomes an important dimension of self-esteem and a determinant of the quality of life. “Young blind women do not form their own body image based on visual information”. It is therefore interesting what the image of their body is and what it means for the quality of life. Purpose and method: The aim of the research was to check the relationship between body image and the sense of quality of life in blind young women. The following was used: KWCO Body Image Questionnaire and WHOQOL – BREF in the shortened version. The proper group consisted of 30 blind women, and the control group consisted of 50 sighted women. Results: In blind women, there is a relationship between body image and quality of life. There were no differences in the perception of their body by blind and sighted women. The quality of life in the psychological and social spheres of blind women is related to the criticism of the environment – the stronger the criticism, the worse the assessment of the quality of life. The relationship between the BMI of the studied women and the body image was partially confirmed. In sighted and blind women, overweight or obesity is associated with a negative assessment of their own body. Conclusions: The assumptions about the body image and its relationship to quality of life should be further analyzed to verify their validity

Standardy estetyczne dotyczące wyglądu, lansowane głównie przez media, oddziałują na obraz ciała kobiet. Subiektywna ocena ciała staje się zaś istotnym wymiarem samooceny i wyznacznikiem jakości życia. Młode niewidzące kobiety nie formują obrazu własnego ciała w oparciu o informacje wzrokowe. Interesujące jest zatem, jaki jest obraz ich ciała i jakie ma znaczenie dla jakości życia. Celem badań było sprawdzenie związku pomiędzy obrazem ciała a poczuciem jakości życia u niewidomych młodych kobiet. Zastosowano: Kwestionariusz Wizerunku Ciała KWCO oraz WHOQOL – BREF w wersji skróconej. Grupę właściwą stanowiło 30 kobiet niewidzących, a kontrolną 50 kobiet widzących. U kobiet niewidomych występuje związek między obrazem ciała a jakością życia. Nie wykazano istotnych różnic w postrzeganiu swojego ciała przez kobiety niewidome i widzące. Jakość życia w sferach psychologicznej i socjalnej kobiet niewidomych ma związek z krytyką otoczenia – im silniejsza krytyka tym gorsza ocena jakości życia. Częściowo potwierdzono związek między BMI badanych kobiet a obrazem ciała. U kobiet widzących i niewidomych nadwaga lub otyłość mają istotny związek z negatywną oceną własnego ciała. Założenia dotyczące obrazu ciała oraz jego związku z jakością życia powinny zostać poddane dalszym analizom, aby zweryfikować ich słuszność.
